Job Description
Why considering joining us?
Do you want to design a machine to detect 50-micron holes at 3000 bottles an hour? How do we make an autoinjector safely deliver drugs at home with a range of viscosities? Does the idea of making sustainable packaging with a 40-tonne press excite you?
The mechanical engineering team at PA use their core engineering knowledge to help ask the right questions at every stage of the development process:
- We work with scientists to understand the fundamental of any new problem. Together we prototype, characterise and explore technologies and processes
- By collaborating with designers and human factors experts we can pin down the form and function of new products
- Engineers of all disciplines – mechanical, electronic, software (and some in between!) – will come together to design, test, and build new products and systems
- We use our industry knowledge to inform future technical strategies for clients and work with others in PA to provide clients with wider business solutions
